Title: Zvezda 15mm plastics...
Post by: answer_is_42 on March 11, 2012, 01:04:25 AM

...are really rather nice. Just finished these Panzer 38(t)s in Romanian colours (command tank with poorly painted royal crest on back of turret. I've no idea what the Romanian 38(t) markings were like, apart from 'sparse'). The last photo shows the unpainted model next to a QRF PZ35(t), which is quite inferior in comparison.

Picking up some of these from Peter Pig today for my EW Germans, so they may meet on the field of battle in the not-too distant future.  They look good.  :D :D

Nice work! How did they take the paint, the plastic looks very glossy?

Better than I feared, although I'd say it took at least twice as long to dry than it would on metal.
